Please make sure that the total current does
not exceed the maximum permitted current
for the function outputs and avoid short
circuits between the outputs: LokSound
circuits are protected but an external voltage
at the terminals of a function output may
destroy the circuitry.
conventional operation: LokSound decoders may
be operated on AC- and DC layouts without any
problems.
Easy programming: Even with Märklin® 6021 all
functions may be changed comfortably without
opening the engine.
A digital, four-tone sound module with unique
characteristics:
Prototype sounds: sounds of prototype engines were
sampled using high fidelity microphones and recorded
digitally on the flash memory module. Thus your
engines sound exactly like the prototype!
With four independent channels your engine sounds
even more realistic , since you can simultaneously
add 3 sound effects to the running sound. Pumps,
power switches and squealing brakes can all be heard
at the same time. The exhaust chuffs of steam engines
vary with the revs of the drivers and the load. Now
you can really hear your engine work. Diesel engines
can now simulate the reduced revs of the diesel while
the engine is coasting. The running sound and the sound
of the fans (blowers) in electric engines is now
separated. Additional sound effects can be activated
by pressing a function button.
Random sounds: sound effects such as air pump,
water pump, shoveling coal, discharging compressed
air, etc. are randomly triggered. Such sounds can be
configured differently for stationary or moving
engines.
Individual volume control: You can individually
control the volume for prime mover sounds, bell, horn
and auxiliary sounds.
Analog Sound: Even on conventional DC (or AC)
layouts you will hear all prime mover sounds
synchronized to the operation condition.

Installation of LokSound decoders

3.1. Connecting LokSound decoders in N,
TT, H0, 0 gauge models

3.1.1 Installation requirements

The engine must be in good mechanical condition:
only an engine running smoothly in analogue mode
should be modified for digital operation. An engine
running poorly in analogue mode will not operate
satisfactorily in digital mode – even with the best
digital decoder. Check and clean or replace any wear
and tear parts such as motor brushes, wheel contacts,
lamps etc.
Always remove the engine from the track when doing
maintenance work or modifications. Make sure that
no voltage is applied – intentionally or accidentally –
while you work on the model.
